eel KickofT In Kenan Today At 2:30 P.M. Me sir SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1945 PAGE THREE Sports FootbaUers Meet Tech Golden Crew Tech Playing First Tilt For Mentor Bobby Dodd Assistant Coach For 15 Years Will Use Vaunted T' Formation Against Tar Heels - , - . By Bobby Foyle (Sports Editor, The Technique) ATLANTA, GA., S'ept. 28. In the opening game at North Caro lina tomorrow there will be two major differences about the Geor gia Tech team from those in the past. 'For the first time in twenty five years" Coach W. A. (Bill) Alexander will not direct the Yellow Jackets, who are now under the tutelage of Bobby Dodd, backfield coach for thirteen years. . Secondly, the Tech team will sport its new type of off ense, the T; in this the fourteenth meeting of the two schools. The 1945 Jackets are the most civi-f lian-powered team Tech has had since 1942. The varsity squad is about equally divided between Naval trainees and civilians. There are 16 freshmen on the squad. The starting lineup is composed of seven seniors, two juniors, one sophomore and one freshman. Of these, six are members of the naval unit. Nine of Tech's ten returning lettermen are on the start ing eleven. Like most of the other schools this year, Tech has ex-GI's on its roster. Walter Kilzer, end on the 1943 Sugar Bowl team, was recently discharged from the Navy; Bob Blake, second string quarterback, is an ex Naval Officer; Dan Kennedy, a tackle, was also recently released from the Naval Service. Four regulars will be lost through graduation in October. They are Captain Paul Duke, center; Luke Bowen, guard; -'Deane Gaines, tackle; and Johnny Mcintosh, fullback. The squad has been working six days a week since September 3. A six week summer session was also held this year. Tech has been faced with the same problem that all schools with V-12 or NROTC Units have; that is, practice time. The hour and a half in the afternoon has proven to be an in sufficient amount of practice time. To combat this condition Coach Dodd instituted night drills last week. Twice weekly the varsity has signal drills under the lights of Grant Field. An improvement in timing has already been noticed. The football drills this fall have been featured by almost daily scrimmages. The new coaching staff is working on the theory that actual contact work gives them, a bet ter chance to correct the faults of the many new men. . Thus Zar two glaring weaknesses have been noticed in the Tech team. It lacks a good kicking back. To alle viate this condition, Bob Davis, a tackle and fine kicker, will do much of the punting this year." The other is the quality of the passers. Always noted for its aerial attack, the Jackets this year find themselves without an outstanding passer. Both Ed Holt singer, converted center, and Bob !

REHDER'S CHAPEL HILL FLOWER SHOP Opposite Post Office Corner Blake who play the important quarter back spot have improved greatly since practice started and Coach Dodd ex pects them to be proficient in this de partment by mid-season. What it lacks otherwise, the backfield hopes to make up with speed and deception. George Mathews and Johnny Mcintosh are ex pected to be the big guns in the T at tack. Though the backfield worries Coach Dodd some, he finds solace in Ray Ellis' Big Gold line. The new Tech line , coach, who studied the T with the Chicago Bears, has fashioned a line averaging 202 pounds from tackle to tackle and 195 pounds from end to end. Bill Bushbin, an end up from last year's B team, is the lone starting lineman who is not a letterman. This seasoned line has consistently shown up well in scrimmages. Reserves are ample in all positions except the ends. Coach Dodd estimates Tech's pros pects for the coming season as "aver age." The personable coach says this is due mainly to the tough schedule the Jackets face. He recently stated that he leveled Tech on a par or bet ter than Auburn, Tulane, L. S. U., Georgia, Clemson and Howard. As better than the Yellow J ackets he rated Duke, Notre Dame and Navy. Caro lina he left as a question mark at least equal to Tech. He has a great deal of respect for Coach Snavely's ability. After Carolina, Tech faces Notre Dame, Howard, Navy, Auburn, Duke, Tulane, L. S. U., Clemson and Georgia on successive weekends. Tech's captain, Paul Duke, is the pivot man in the Jackets' veteran for ward wall. Rated as one of the best defensive men in the conference last year, he is mentioned prominently as Tech's all-American candidate. Johnny Mcintosh, fleet fullback, finds himself at a familiar position. Last year Mac was Tech's blocking back for most of the season. His hard tackling still rates him one of the backer-up spots on defense. George Mathews, Tech's phantom half-back, reduces his pass catching ability this year in the T formation The speedy Columbus boy has more than made this up though by his ex cellent running in practices thus far, He is the team's most dangerous man if he once gets in the secondary.

It should be quite clear by now, Morty (and dear Mr. Editor), that the only "Declaration of Inde pendence and Consolation" we want is the simple desire to be free of such inane and stupid editorializing, except in instances where you really intend for us- to get a laugh. . "Isn't it just too beastly," Morty? J. S. O'Neall, NROTC. FAREWELL (Continued from first page) "The first Pre-Flight 'school in the world was established in North Caro lina when the Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk," said Daniels. "We must remember that while trained aviators led the way to victory in this war, nobody has a monopoly of glory because there was enough to go around." As men fight together in war, they, must be trained together in peace. "The great power for tomor row is in the air, the airplane is going to take first place in the world of to morrow."

A mo tion was passed which automatically reinstates any former CPU member who returns to campus. Richard Stern, chairman of the membership committee, announced early this week that the Union will shortly hold interviews to consider ap plicants for membership. The Union maintains a strict quota of 25 mem bers. Eleven vacancies are now wait ing to be filled. This is the first time in its ten-year history that over six va cancies have existed at any one time.

Meetings are always open to the public and everyone attending may participate. COGS (Continued from page two) want the lad to cry!! Without a doubt: We hope all the musically inclined will look up either Dick Stoker or Marg Pullen. They will be the guiding reins of this year's Sound and Fury shows, and according to all reports, should turn out some good musicals. Look 'em up, gang. The University Dance Committee has elected a good chairman in Jim Dillard. With the help of Charlie Vance, newly elected secretary, and the rest of us, they should function at their best, and continue to serve any organization or group wanting to put on a dance. As the squad goes onto the field against Ga. Tech today, it carries with it the earnest support of every campusite. We wish you good luck, good score, and good, but not good enough, opponents!

Snavely, better known as the 'Silver Fox' of football, returns to Carolina with an enviable record for any coach, and a record that will rank among the best. Snavely, who comes from Cornell after nine seasons, piled up a record of 15 wins against two losses and one tie while at the Tar Heel university in 1934 and 1935. While at Cornell, Coach Snavely coached the Big Red eleven through to 46 triumphs and lost 26 times and tied three. The veteran of almost a quarter-century of coach ing, won 42 games and lost 16 in his first collegiate coaching assignment at Bucknell from 1927 to 1933 and all in all its gives him a percentage record of .701, which is extremely good in the game of football. Before going to Bucknell, Snavely did prep school coaching at Kiski and Belief onte, and twice his team laid claim to the national scholastic title. In addition to his coaching duties at Cornell, Coach Snavely was for several years the mentor of the Northern squad in the annual Blue-Gray inter- sectional grid classic in Montgomery, Ala. Upon returning to Carolina, the veteran said he found the Hill "just like I left it, only there is more of it." He is noted as one of the keenest stu dents and finest teachers in the game todajf, and his teams have always been known for their mastery of de tail and mechanical perfection.

Wootten-Moulton, photographers, will have the proofs at their office, where selection of proofs will be made. A number of students have inquired about the 1945 edition, which is not yet out. "If this year's Yack does not appear on time, it will not be for the lack of a competent staff or negligence on its part. It will be only because the student body will have failed to give us the necessary information," Thomp son said. Three Teams Stay In Unbeaten Ranks Leathernecks Ringers And Phi Kappa Sig Keep Leadership In Respective Leagues Only three teams survived the second week of the intramural softball tourney with perfect records. The Leathernecks, Ringers and Phi Kappa Sigma have grabbed three straight victories and are leading their respective leagues in the heated mural race. Topping the week's action inlO League A, the 3rd Company gained I wno claimed two hits off Pitcher Bow a hard-fought 5-4 decision over Zeta I en Psi.

For the losers it was Barnett and McDonald jgs FORPREXY'S W IS THE FRESHMAN RECEPTION AY 1890'S To be absolutely proper, you donned your claw-hammer suit (it you owned one) and the stiffest shirt-front and collar obtainable. Prexy, similarly armored, grasped your perspiring palm. Matriculation was complete. You were a college stude at last. America, too, was stepping out in the 1890's. Her cities were growing, populations were spreading. Railway Express, then as now, provided her with a nation-wide shipping service, including the bag gage and laundry needs of innumerable college stu?nts. Today. dur ing the emergency, the country's shipping needs are heavily strained. So, please do this with your baggage and home-going bundles: Pack and wrap securely, address clearly, and get them started early. BUY MORE WAR BONDS In one of the top games of the week, Phi Kappa Sigma downed the first half champs from Smith by the close margin of 5-2. Tony Jones, Phi Kaps' left-handed twirler, tossed the V-12'ers a four-hitter.
